We're coming right up on 94 or 95 tomorrow so I'm hoping (just as most other IZ LTs) to see the results and get some good news soon.

Something is definitely holding it up, 5 days in the SECNAV office last year, now pushing almost 40 this year.Guess they are trying to hit that 100 mark.

Good luck to all eligible, let's hope for some good news soon.

Remember also that the results were at SECDEF's desk for over 2 weeks last year and so far they have not even left SECNAV's office. They are trying to set a new "How slow can we go" and "how much can we push beyond 100" record. Oh the suspense....

May not be an answerable question but does anyone know if any of the offices in the ROP make changes to the board results or are the results pretty much final once the board adjourns (Pending of course none of us get DUIs; etc).

Yep, pretty scary we still have to wait on SECDEF as well (assuming that the 11 July update to the process is correct).

Not sure on the ROP being able to make changes, other than the obvious ones that you mentioned(any legal issues, PFA, etc)

I'd like to think that I was near the top of the non-select list, so the fight continues!

If you're an O-4+, I hear the civilian job market is really GREAT right now! So, you know, if you want to go ahead and retire, it's cool.

I know quite of few real good dudes that didn't get picked .... Best of luck to all next year. We're just going through the down swing of the cycle. I remember when our selection rates were up to 90%+.Sorry if this pisses off some O4/O5s but I absolutely agree with Twidget; if you are a Commander who KNOWS you won't get picked for O6 (because you failed to select for O5 milestone), you should get out at 20.

Damn... 45 in zone and 29 in zone selectees. Not sure what I think about that, other than being a little nervous for a few years from now! Hopefully with the shift away from IO those of us who have a tour or two of that under our belts instead of the requisite cyber stuff aren't terminally disadvantaged! I suppose only time will tell.

Congratulations to all the selectees, and good luck next year to those high-quality LTs who just didn't win the BUPERS lottery this time around.
